• Stronger version of Magic Shield. Increases stability on left hand shield by 50% and will negate all damage that is successfully blocked, often resulting in both no Stamina being consumed and no damage being taken.

• Counts as shield buff. Cannot stack with Magic Shield

• It will dispel if the caster two-hands their weapon.

• It is actually quite powerful. A shield enchanted with this spell can even block such high-end sorceries as Pursuers, Dark Bead, Homing Crystal Soulmass, and Crystal Soul Spear, and even powerful melee attacks like a Dragon King Greataxe explosion without a single point of damage going through and at no stamina cost. Furthermore, since it isn't a personal buff, it can be cast in conjunction with such spells as Power Within or Replenishment. The only downside is its relatively short duration of 15 seconds.
